Little Bighorn Battlefield National Monument
History
National monument battlefield with visitor center covering the 1876 Battle of Little Bighorn, Plains Indian history, and U.S. Army campaigns.
What families say
Families can drive the whole battlefield with numerous scenic pull-outs and informational signs, plus hiking trails (Ravine, Reno-Benteen) for those wanting to get out of the car—plan for several hours, as some visitors spent close to four. The self-guided audio/QR tour has drawn complaints for poor sound quality and English-only content, so kids may get more out of reading the signs and headstones scattered across the battlefield than relying on audio. Note the visitor center is currently a temporary trailer due to construction, and don't skip the trading post on the way out for an Indian Taco.
